How to Rca ch Old Age.

If the following rules are observed, and
one doea not die in the meantime Dr.
B. W. Richardson says that one can live
to Il peaceful and enjoyable old age;
TO subsist on light but nutritious diet,
with milk as the standard food, but va
Met according to season.
10 take food in moderate quantity
four times in the day, including light
meal before going to bed.
70 cothe warmly, but lightly, so that
the body may in all seasons maintain an
equal temperature.
To keep the body in fair exercise and
the mind active ana cheerful.
TO maintain an interest IN what IS
going on in the world, and to take part
ia reasonable labors and pleasures, as
though old age, were not present
! 10 take plenty of sleep daring sleep
ing hours, to spend nine hours IN bel
at the least, and to take care during
cold weather that the temperature OF
bedroom is maintained at CD degrees
. Fahrenheit.
70 avoid passion, excitement, luxury
g.. If one has time to attend to tn ell
doubtless those rules would prolong life
, But what business man can? He woult
rather die first.

Seed Corn And Its Treatment.

In the last annual report issued from
the New York Experiment Station the
large loss sustained in practical farming
and arising from the non termination
ofssasd is dwelt$qpon at some length
The experiments Carried on at the sta
ton since its organization gives results
largely in favor of kiln. dried corn Tor
tseed and provo cpnelusively that seed
which is carefully preserved not only
rftah(sIits vitality longer but gives bet
ter results in planting. 1t is certainly
good advice, and advice which it is we'll
for the farmer to heed, to select carefully
his seed corn from his bin, or, better
still from the field, and to earthly keep
over to the next season in warm and
dry place. At the present the advice
is certainly justified by the facts at com
mand, torthe farmer to select his seed
corn by taking the best ears, and, after
sheling, or in the ear, TO put IN a warm

fore using in the spring. Il
Y Seed corn when planted to early Is
often destroyed in the ground. This de-
struction does not come from the cold,
as often ASSUMED, but, from other cond!-
tons, the most important Of which IS
the slow termination Of the seed and
vitality which cannot endure this cir
cumstance, and also the action of mould,
which grows rapidly at, alower temper
AZURE than will suffice for the corn. 1t
therefore holds good in practice that to
those who plant early the very best OF
seed is of great Importance and W hat
a Ids value to this reflection is that, so
far as data at the station warrant, it can
BIZ said with considerable certainty that
early planted corn will usually yield a
larger crop than will the same variety
planted at late period.
Result Is gained at the station IN the
preparation of the land for corn are IN
'terrretcd as slightly ln favor otthe com.
preston. Of the soil. On Il large s;'e
mas been noted the effect Of bringing the
soil into contact with the seed by step
t pino upon thehill after planting stYk-
, ing with the hoe, and Il farm e&perlence
has shown that the gain OF termination
through using corn planter whose
wheel ran over the planted hill was SUIT
fcient TO justify the purchase of the ma
chime as over hand planting.
Experiments regArding the distance
Of planting corn Justify the conclusion
that too thick planting is Injurious to
the crop The largest yield was gained
in plot where the hills were liX44
inches apart.

Gravitation in tho Moon.

An ingenious writer treats Of gravitation
of the moon in Tho Popular Science News.
If it were possible, he says to take journey
to tho moon we should find a very different
state of affairs existing. Tho moon having
much smaller mass than the earth will
exert its attractive influence less strongly;
and by tho cxcrtion of the same strength
man could leap into the air to an astonish-
ing distance, jumping over tho tallest build
ings with the same ease that he would clear a
low obstruction ON tho Garth The same
effect would be produced upon all other
bodies. Horses would travel at greatly in
creased speed, and if the rider was thrown
the consequences of his fall would be much
less serious; the elephant would become as
light footed as deer; stone thrown from
the hand of q careless boy might fall in an
adjoining town before accomplishing its mis-
sion of Gcstruction; armies would engage in
battles at great distances from each other;
and nearly every kind of labor would be
lightcned, from the diminished weight of
tools and materials. Transcript.

A MunIficent Old Bachelor.
JONAS GILMAN CLARK,
Who GIVES A MILLION DOLLARS FOR
A UNIVERSITY AT WORCESTER, MASS.
NEzS A5GsM u

The millionaire whose kindly features
nre pictured above, Jonas Gilman
Clark, has made arrangements for tho
establishment of q university at Wor-
cester, Mass. The project is his, and
he gives a million dollars with which
to carry it out. If more money shall
be needed, the understanding is that
more shall be Forthcoming from the
same source. The buildings of Clark
University will stand on eight ncres Of
ground, and will form the principal
architectural feature of Worcester.
Mr. Clark intends that the University
to be named after him shall hay, pro-
fcssional as well as academic studies,
AID that its management shall be indie
pendent of any church or party.
Mr.. Clark was born at Hubbard
town, near Worcester, on February l.
1916. His father was a farmer and
taught him agricultural work. But he
preferred other occupation, left home,
and learned to be carriage builder.
After following this business for time
he engaged in the manufacture of tin
articles, which led him into dealing in
hardware and such goods. He went
to California among the earliest, and
sold proftably hardware, furniture,
outfits, etc. Mr. Clark was the staunch-
est sort of Union man during the war,
interesting himself conspicuously in the
work OF the Union League, of which he
was tle Grand Treasurer Of his State.
He bought a large number Of Gov
ernmcnt bonds, and invested wisely in
San Francisco real estate. When, in
1864, he returned to the East, he took
with him gold with which to buy
grccnbachs, and bought real estate in
New York and Boston. He then went
to ur,pe for q time. Returning he
settle down at his birthplace, which
he made a present of a fifty thousand
dollar Town Hall, and library build
ing. The noble house in which he
lives is part of much property owned
by him in Worcester County. It con-
tains a valuable collection of manu-
scripts and books.

Haberton's "Budge" and "Toddy."

The following anecdote of "Helens b.
bies" has not heretofore been published:
Tho babies went with their mother to visit
her father, d. P. M. Hastings, of Hartford,
whose brother, missionary in India, mar
ried sister Of President Cleveland. The
doctor at that time lived in house with
high steps, having his Office in the basement.
There was an inside passageway through
the cellar from the Office to the living
rooms, and during the visit of the little boys
to their grandfather the cellar stairs were
ono day found sprinkled with little pieces of
paper. When questioned as to their object
tho children explained that they put the bits
of paper there in order to find their way back
from the Office by their aid. Their mother
had evidently been reading Grimm's fairy
tales to them. One of the boys is now
we'll grown youth. The other died while
still young, and his parents, although they
had then two children younger than Bulge
and Teddy, adopted little girl of the age
of their lost boy.-Buffalo Courier.
